got the courage to start again with strangers," says David. "You've put me in a very difficult position. I mean

asks Benny. "To go into a home," says Josie.
David tells Meg that when she sold some of her shares to Hugh he was out of the country. "Out of sight, out of
mind," he says. "That's not true David," says Meg. "You could have waited until I got back and talked it over
with me," says David. "I had to make a decision," says Meg. "Well so do I. Anyway I can do what I like with
my shares," says David. "Well why talk to me?" asks Meg. "Because believe it or not, I don't like doing things
behind your back," says David, raising his voice.
Rosemary passes the door and hears David's raised voice so she goes inside. David tells her it's a private conversation,
but Rosemary sits down. "Since you're talking about me I'm staying," she says. Rosemary tells Meg that she has
always known she disliked her.
